Its key strengths in winning customers’ confidence are its comprehensive product portfolio in providing end-to-end network solutions and the flexibility to offer customised solutions that promptly address customer requirements.

“The company’s growing influence in the market is underscored by its increasing traction among major service providers outside its home market, in other geographies across Asia Pacific, and even Europe,” added Tan.
